Hi Joan, You can follow the steps here to convert the file to an MP3 with iTunes.

I want to add some music to a photo slideshow in PowerPoint 2010. When I try to insert the audio file it gives me the “codec” error. Do you know of a way to work around this? I would like to add music out of the iTunes library. I can see the list of music but I can’t get past the error message. > > Thanks in advance. > > Joan > > > > Joan Long > Essential Office Services > P 413.796.1536 > F 413.796.8097 > C 413.427.9853 > www.essentialoffice.net <http://www.essentialoffice.net/> > > _______________________________________________ > Hidden-discuss mailing list - home page: http://www.hidden-tech.net <http://www.hidden-tech.net/> > Hidden-discuss at lists.hidden-tech.net <mailto:Hidden-discuss at lists.hidden-tech.net> > > You are receiving this because you are on the Hidden-Tech Discussion list. > If you would like to change your list preferences, Go to the Members > page on the Hidden Tech Web site. > http://www.hidden-tech.net/members <http://www.hidden-tech.net/members> -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
